Annotation

Last update: doc. Timothy Noble, Ph.D. (23.08.2016)

This course will work with a number of films, both European and American, to see how the story of Jesus is told in film, and how issues such as salvation, redemption, forgiveness, healing, and sacramental encounter are dealt used as the basis for film. Each week we will watch an extract from a different film, and then discuss it, drawing out the main themes.
